Definitions by tradesman

Dan Rather 

A news reader who can't distinguish news from partisan idealogy and innuendo.
When Dan Blather was caught using known faked documents on C-B.S's hit piece on Bush, he accused everyone else of the same things he himself was guilty of for years. He even had the arrogance to state that even though the docs were faked, the message is true. Nice going, schmuck.

Mel Gibson 

A subject that frusterated leftists can vent their blind hatred here at UrbanDictionary.com.
I loved reading some of these spiteful "definitions" from so-called "tolerant" folks.

school of hard knocks 

Life itself; knowledge (and wisdom) gained by working for it, and not necessarily from a book.
You can learn more common sense from the school of hard knocks, than from most any university.

conservative bias 

Something not nearly as proliferous as the raging liberal bias in the US media.
Liberals scream "Fox News!" when giving an example of conservative bias. Please. If conservatives yelled about CNN, ABC, CBS, PBS, NPR, CNN, MSNBC, Newsweek, Time and the New York Times half as much as the Left yells about Fox, even I'd get bored with them.

humble pie 

To be forced to apologize or to admit a fault.
I caught Pierson in another lie, so he has to eat some humble pie.
humble pie by tradesman January 27, 2004
A holiday developed by a Dr. Maulana "Ron" Karenga, a black militant, Marxist, and convicted felon.
Just five years after this, he was convicted of torturing two black women to death.

Observed from December 26 to January 1, Kwanzaa is based on a mixture of East African harvest rituals, called "first fruits" by Karenga and 1960's radicalism. This is in spite of the fact most slaves came from West Africa.

Viewed as an "alternative" to Christmas, it, nonetheless, is based on race, and not in faith.
I really don't care if Kwanzaa is celebrated, just don't let the PC crowd force it down our throats.

Thanksgiving 

A day of reflection on what you should be thankful for; gratitude. America commemorates this day for the feast the Pilgrims had with the Wampanoag Indians in 1621.
